Audience Participation – Sharing Gratitude

It is a gray and overcast morning on campus. Feels like completely appropriate weather for the last week of classes. For our P’21s, we have a new Weekly Message for First Year Families, this one on final exams. Today we have an opportunity […]


Catching Back Up

I’m back from my unexpected break to tend to P’92 following a fall she took on Thanksgiving; many thanks for your well wishes and prayers (wish I could have responded to everyone personally but I couldn’t). Lots of things happened in my absence, so this […]


Study Smarter, Not Harder

As finals approach, our Deacs start to get more and more twitchy about exams and the pressure they feel. Sometimes it feels like if students just study, study, STUDY NONSTOP they will be best prepared for those exams. Others might argue that you need to […]


Channeling Seattle

We are channeling the Pacific Northwest the last few days. We’ve had a light rain/mist that has been near constant, and it finally feels cold (well, cold for here. It was 48 at lunch). But the dreary and the grey are starting to wear on […]


Black and Gold Friday

Happy Black and Gold Friday – and a hot one here, high 70s. Definitely strangely warm weather for November. One of our faculty members, Professor Barry Trachtenberg of the History department, is going to testify before the U.S. House Committee on the Judiciary next week.  Committee Chair […]


More on Flu Shots

First-year students had their individual advising appointments today, so there will be plenty of shuffling of courses, buying of books, and generally getting settled in over the weekend.  Upperclass students (sophomores, juniors, and seniors) are also returning to campus. Parking lots are starting to fill, […]


Some pics of Wake Downtown

Yesterday on the Wake Parents and Families Facebook page, I shared a couple of pictures of Wake Downtown, our city campus.  Though Wake Downtown opened this spring, I had not gotten down there to explore the inside of the building until yesterday, though I had […]


Hot tip: Zotero

It’s a HOT one here in W-S.  Close to 90 today and plenty humid. So today I thought I’d offer a hot tip for your Deacs.  It’s called Zotero. Zotero is an online tool that helps students with proper citation of research sources, bibliography/reference creation […]


Wake Downtown update and Master of Studies in Law

I was out all last week on PTO and so this is a preposted blog entry (as I knew I will be digging out of my inbox).  Today’s Daily Deac takes  a look at what has been happening at Wake Downtown this summer, as well […]
